Pre-emptive U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran
Command and control breakdowns involving U.S. nuclear weapons are unprecedented, except for that fact that the U.S. military is now waging an internal war against neo-cons who are embedded in the U.S. government and military chain of command who are intent on using nuclear weapons in a pre-emptive war with Iran. CHECKMATE and OPERATION ORCHARD would have provided the cover for a pre-emptive U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran had it not been for BENT SPEAR involving the B-52.

However, elements of the Air Force, supported by U.S. intelligence agency personnel, successfully revealed the ultimate destination of the nuclear weapons and the mission was aborted due to internal opposition within the Air Force and U.S. Intelligence Community. Yesterday, the Washington Post attempted to explain away the fact that America's nuclear command and control system broke down in an unprecedented manner by reporting that it was the result of "security failures at multiple levels." It is now apparent that the command and control breakdown, reported as a BENT SPEAR incident to the Secretary of Defense and White House, was not the result of a command and control chain-of-command "failures" but the result of a revolt and push back by various echelons within the Air Force and intelligence agencies against a planned U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and conventional weapons. The Washington Post story on BENT SPEAR may have actually been an effort in damage control by the Bush administration. WMR has been informed by a knowledgeable source that one of the six nuclear-armed cruise missiles was, and may still be, unaccounted for. In that case, the nuclear reporting incident would have gone far beyond BENT SPEAR to a National Command Authority alert known as EMPTY QUIVER, with the special classification of PINNACLE. Just as this report was being prepared, Newsweek reported that Vice President Dick Cheney's recently-departed Middle East adviser, David Wurmser, told a small group of advisers some months ago that Cheney had considered asking Israel to launch a missile attack on the Iranian nuclear site at Natanz. Cheney reasoned that after an Iranian retaliatory strike, the United States would have ample reasons to launch its own massive attack on Iran. However, plans for Israel to attack Iran directly were altered to an Israeli attack on a supposed Syrian-Iranian-North Korean nuclear installation in northern Syria. WMR has learned that a U.S. attack on Iran using nuclear and conventional weapons was scheduled to coincide with Israel's September 6 air attack on a reputed Syrian nuclear facility in Dayr az-Zwar, near the village of Tal Abyad, in northern Syria, near the Turkish border. Israel's attack, code named OPERATION ORCHARD, was to provide a reason for the U.S. to strike Iran. The neo-conservative propaganda onslaught was to cite the cooperation of the George Bush's three remaining "Axis of Evil" states—Syria, Iran, and North Korea—to justify a sustained Israeli attack on Syria and a massive U.S. military attack on Iran. WMR has learned from military sources on both sides of the Atlantic that there was a definite connection between Israel's OPERATION ORCHARD and BENT SPEAR involving the B-52 that flew the six nuclear-armed cruise missiles from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota to Barksdale. There is also a connection between these two events as the Pentagon's highly-classified PROJECT CHECKMATE, a compartmented U.S. Air Force program that has been working on an attack plan for Iran since June 2007, around the same time that Cheney was working on the joint Israeli-U.S. attack scenario on Iran. PROJECT CHECKMATE was leaked in an article by military analyst Eric Margolis in the Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper, the Times of London, is a program that involves over two dozen Air Force officers and is headed by Brig. Gen. Lawrence Stutzriem and his chief civilian adviser, Dr. Lani Kass, a former Israeli military intelligence officer who, astoundingly, is now involved in planning a joint U.S.-Israeli massive military attack on Iran that involves a "decapitating" blow on Iran by hitting between three to four thousand targets in the country. Stutzriem and Kass report directly to the Air Force Chief of Staff, General Michael Moseley, who has also been charged with preparing a report on the B-52/nuclear weapons incident. Kass' area of speciality is cyber-warfare, which includes ensuring "information blockades," such as that imposed by the Israeli government on the Israeli media regarding the air attack on the alleged Syrian "nuclear installation." British intelligence sources have reported that the Israeli attack on Syria was a "true flag" attack originally designed to foreshadow a U.S. attack on Iran. After the U.S. Air Force push back against transporting the six cruise nuclear-armed AGM-129s to the Middle East, Israel went ahead with its attack on Syria in order to help ratchet up tensions between Washington on one side and Damascus, Tehran, and Pyongyang on the other. The other part of CHECKMATE's brief is to ensure that a media "perception management" is waged against Syria, Iran, and North Korea. This involves articles such as that which appeared with Joby Warrick's and Walter Pincus' bylines in yesterdays Washington Post. The article, titled "The Saga of a Bent Spear," quotes a number of seasoned Air Force nuclear weapons experts as saying that such an incident is unprecedented in the history of the Air Force. For example, Retired Air Force General Eugene Habiger, the former chief of the U.S. Strategic Command, said he has been in the "nuclear business" since 1966 and has never been aware of an incident "more disturbing." Command and control breakdowns involving U.S. nuclear weapons are unprecedented, except  for that fact that the U.S. military is now waging an internal war against neo-cons who are embedded in the U.S. government and military chain of command who are intent on using nuclear weapons in a pre-emptive war with Iran. CHECKMATE and OPERATION ORCHARD would have provided the cover for a pre-emptive U.S. and Israeli attack on Iran had it not been for BENT SPEAR involving the B-52.   In on the plan to launch a pre-emptive attack on Iran involving nuclear weapons were, according to our sources, Cheney, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley; members of the CHECKMATE team at the Pentagon, who have close connections to Israeli intelligence and pro-Israeli think tanks in Washington, including the Hudson Institute; British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, a political adviser to Tony Blair prior to becoming a Member of Parliament; Israeli political leaders like Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Likud leader Binyamin Netanyahu; and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who did his part last week to ratchet up tensions with Iran by suggesting that war with Iran was a probability. Kouchner retracted his statement after the U.S. plans for Iran were delayed. Although the Air Force tried to keep the B-52 nuclear incident from the media, anonymous Air Force personnel leaked the story to Military Times on September 5, the day before the Israelis attacked the alleged nuclear installation in Syria and the day planned for the simultaneous U.S. attack on Iran. The leaking of classified information on U.S. nuclear weapons disposition or movement to the media, is, itself, unprecedented. Air Force regulations require the sending of classified BEELINE reports to higher Air Force authorities on the disclosure of classified Air Force information to the media. In another highly unusual move, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has asked an outside inquiry board to look into BENT SPEAR, even before the Air Force has completed its own investigation, a virtual vote of no confidence in the official investigation being conducted by Major General Douglas Raaberg, chief of air and space operations at the Air Combat Command. Gates asked former Air Force Chief of Staff, retired General Larry Welch, to lead a Defense Science Board task force that will also look into the BENT SPEAR incident. The official Air Force investigation has reportedly been delayed for unknown reasons. Welch is President and CEO of the Institute for Defense Analysis (IDA), a federally-funded research contractor that operates three research centers, including one for Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President and another for the National Security Agency. One of the board members of IDA is Dr. Suzanne H. Woolsey of the Paladin Capital Group and wife of former CIA director and arch-neocon James Woolsey. WMR has learned that neither the upper echelons of the State Department nor the British Foreign Office were privy to OPERATION ORCHARD, although Hadley briefed President Bush on Israeli spy satellite intelligence that showed the Syrian installation was a joint nuclear facility built with North Korean and Iranian assistance. However, it is puzzling why Hadley would rely on Israeli imagery intelligence (IMINT) from its OFEK (Horizon) 7 satellite when considering that U.S. IMINT satellites have greater capabilities. The Air Force's "information warfare" campaign against media reports on CHECKMATE and OPERATION ORCHARD also affected international reporting of the recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) resolution asking Israel to place its nuclear weapons program under IAEA controls, similar to those that the United States wants imposed on Iran and North Korea. The resolution also called for a nuclear-free zone throughout the Middle East. The IAEA's resolution, titled "Application of IAEA Safeguards in the Middle East," was passed by the 144-member IAEA General Meeting on September 20 by a vote of 53 to 2, with 47 abstentions. The only two countries to vote against were Israel and the United States. However, the story carried from the IAEA meeting in Vienna by Reuters, the Associated Press, and Agence France Press, was that it was Arab and Islamic nations that voted for the resolution. This was yet more perception management carried out by CHECKMATE, the White House, and their allies in Europe and Israel with the connivance of the media. In fact, among the 53 nations that voted for the resolution were China, Russia, India, Ireland, and Japan. The 47 abstentions were described as votes "against" the resolution even though an abstention is neither a vote for nor against a measure. America's close allies, including Britain, France, Australia, Canada, and Georgia, all abstained. Suspiciously, the IAEA carried only a brief item on the resolution concerning Israel's nuclear program and a roll call vote was not available either at the IAEA's web site— www.iaea.org —or in the media. The perception management campaign by the neocon operational cells in the Bush administration, Israel and Europe was designed to keep a focus on Iran's nuclear program, not on Israel's. Any international examination of Israel's nuclear weapons program would likely bring up Israeli nuclear scientist Mordechai Vanunu, a convert from Judaism to Christianity, who was kidnapped in Rome by a Mossad "honey trap" named Cheryl Bentov (aka, Cindy) and a Mossad team in 1986 and held against his will in Israel ever since. Vanunu's knowledge of the Israeli nuclear weapons program would focus on the country's own role in nuclear proliferation, including its program to share nuclear weapons technology with apartheid South Africa and Taiwan in the late 1970s and 1980s. The role of Ronald Reagan's Director of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency Ken Adelman in Israeli's nuclear proliferation during the time frame 1983-1987 would also come under scrutiny. Adelman, a member of the Reagan-Bush transition State Department team from November 1980 to January 1981, voiced his understanding for the nuclear weapons programs of Israel, South Africa, and Taiwan in a June 28, 1981 New York Times article titled, "3 Nations Widening Nuclear Contacts." The journalist who wrote the article was Judith Miller. Adelman felt that the three countries wanted nuclear weapons because of their ostracism from the West, the third world, and the hostility from the Communist countries. Of course, today, the same argument can be used by Iran, North Korea, and other "Axis of Evil" nations so designated by the neocons in the Bush administration and other governments. There are also news reports that suggest an intelligence relationship between Israel and North Korea. On July 21, 2004, New Zealand's Dominion Post reported that three Mossad agents were involved in espionage in New Zealand. Two of the Mossad agents, Uriel Kelman and Elisha Cara (aka Kra), were arrested and imprisoned by New Zealand police (an Israeli diplomat in Canberra, Amir Lati, was expelled by Australia and New Zealand intelligence identified a fourth Mossad agent involved in the New Zealand espionage operation in Singapore). The third Mossad agent in New Zealand, Zev William Barkan (aka Lev Bruckenstein), fled New Zealand -- for North Korea. New Zealand Foreign Minister Phil Goff revealed that Barkan, a former Israeli Navy diver, had previously worked at the Israeli embassy in Vienna, which is also the headquarters of the IAEA. He was cited by the Sydney Morning Herald as trafficking in passports stolen from foreign tourists in Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. New Zealand's One News reported that Barkan was in North Korea to help the nation build a wall to keep its citizens from leaving. The nuclear brinkmanship involving the United States and Israel and the breakdown in America's command and control systems have every major capital around the world wondering about the Bush administration's true intentions.

From a reader – September 10, 2007 A reader writes, this post from Democratic Underground is quite interesting: "Regarding yesterday's LOOSE NUKES story!!! Important update! Edited on Thu Sep-06-07 03:50 PM by Rick Myers I decided to dig a little deeper into the story about nuclear weapons 'accidentally' loaded onto a B-52 and have found some disturbing information buried in an unclassified USAF budget document. Below you will find some of the significant text and a link to the entire ultra-dull report from the Pentagon. But here are some bullet points to consider (tin foil optional): * We were TOLD these weapons were being moved to be decomissioned. THAT IS NOT TRUE! This current USAF doc says the missiles are being 'refitted' to extend their service life until fiscal year 2030! These are state of the  art weapons. The service plan even includes upgrading the W-80 warheads to keep them IN SERVICE. * If you read the first sentence below, you will see how the USAF decribes these weapons as "designed to evade  air and ground-based defenses in order to strike heavily defended, hardened targets at any location within any enemy's territory." Humm... What sort of operation would require such ordanance? * We have only 38 of these weapons, so 5 of them is a large chunk of the inventory to move at once. * It is MY OPINION that some 'patriot' leaked the info about these weapons movements. A warning? * It is also my opinion these weapons were being moved for some other reason, to Barksdale, and then possibly on to Diego Garcia, for obvious reasons. IT IS TIME TO BE VERY AFRAID! The UK intercepted 8 Russian bombers yesterday, which has not happened in about  15 years. Syria fired on 4 or 5 Israeli aircraft that violated that violated Syrian airspace and dropped fuel tanks in the desert... Dr. Strangelove is alive and well... Description/Justification Committee Staff Procurement Backup Book FY 2008/2009 Budget Estimates http://www.saffm.hq.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-07... (snip} AGM-129 Advanced Cruise Missile (ACM) is a low-observable air-launched strategic missile with significant improvements over the Air Launched Cruise Missile B version (ALCM-B) in range, accuracy and survivability. Armed with a W-80 warhead, it is designed to evade air and ground-based defenses in order to strike heavily defended, hardened targets at any location within any enemy's territory. The ACM is designed for B-52H external carriage and there are currently 394 ACM in the inventory. The ACM fleet design service life expires between the years 2003 and 2008. A Service Life Extension Plan (SLEP) was developed to meet an AF Long Range Plan requirement to extend ACM Service Life to FY30. Range Commanders Council (RCC) test range safety requirements (RCC-319) and Department of Energy's (DOE) redesign of the Joint Test Assembly (JTA) is driving modification of existing Joint Test Instrumentation Kit (JTIK) test doors. Newly modified JTIK test doors will incorporate Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking capability and components removed from the redesigned JTA package. Without modified JTIK doors, the ACM cannot maintain its DOE nuclear certification, support the W-80 warhead Life Extension Program (LEP) or conduct flight testing used to collect weapon system reliability data. The requirement exists to provide modified Test Instrumentation Kits (TIKs) to support Functional Ground Test (FGT). FGT will provide a critical capability to the Air Force and provide a means of testing the ACM without the loss of an asset. These tests will provide important reliability data for Service Life Extension analysis. Kit modification and unique spare components will be procured to support tests in the FGT facility.

Disgrace for England ! ???
I am a Jew, and outraged by every instance of anti-semitism and/or holocaust denial, BUT... In this day and age it is a irresponsible to forward inaccurate political e-mails without checking the information in them, and (I’m sorry to say it) stupid to accept e-mail forwards as a source of information about the world.   Find a reliable source to corroborate the story, or else drop it.   It’s so easy to run it down on Snopes, or any of several other rumor killers. http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/holocaust.asp This one’s been around for many, many months, and was debunked almost immediately, yet people unthinkingly pass along anything that rouses them.  It’s been forwarded to me at  east four times in the last year. Millions of people all over the world think that Jews working at the World Trade Centers stayed home on 9/11 because they were in on the plot.  That kind of dangerous idiocy is spread via email by people ready to believe ANYTHING that seems to support their prejudices.  Aren’t we supposed to be better than that?  The world situation is dangerous enough without people thinking sloppily and acting hysterically. My two cents, for what it’s worth. Please do NOT include me in any more propaganda. Ken R. ======================================== Thank you for your e-mail. I sometimes post them but never forward them. and no posting without fact checking I prefer Googeling  the headline or some part of the text to ferret out hoaxes or a misinformation loop de loup... the urban  legend type sites block cut and pasts wanting to have one link to there add laden pop up pages so I  post it here as an example... ======================================== http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/holocaust.asp Holocaust Teaching Ban  Claim: Schools in the UK no longer teach about the Holocaust for fear of offending Muslim students. Status: Multiple: All schools in the UK have stopped teaching about the Holocaust in their history classes: False. One history department in a northern UK city stopped teaching about the Holocaust because it wished to avoid confronting anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust denial among some Muslim pupils: True. Example: [Collected via e-mail, April 2007] In Memoriam Recently, this week, UK removed The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it "offended" the Moslem population which claims it never occurred. This is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it. It is now  more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the 6 million Jews,20 million Russians, 10 million Christians  and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russia peoples looking the other way! Now, more than ever, with Iran, among others, claiming the Holocaust to be "a myth,"it is imperative to make sure the  world never forgets. This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide! Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world. Please send this message to all people you know and ask them to continue the memorial chain. Please don't just delete it. It will only take you a minute to pass this along - Thanks! Origins: This piece began circulating in e-mail in mid-April 2007. Its central claim, that schools in Britain no longer teach about The Holocaust for fear of offending Muslim students,isn't on the money: Even news articles that bear titles such as "Britain Schools Ignore the Holocaust" and "Schools Drop Holocaust Lessons" point out that only one history department in a northern UK school did that. In all the rest of the country's schools, information about the Holocaust was still being imparted to students. Those news articles were a response to the March 2007 release of the Historical Association's report titled Teaching Emotive and Controversial History 3-19 (overview of its objectives here and full report here), a study funded by the UK's Department for Education and Skills to examine how educators in Britain were teaching sensitive and/or controversial aspects of history and to highlight what approaches had worked among those that had been tried.(As for the reasons behind such a study, the report  noted: "Teachers and schools avoid emotive and controversial history for a variety of reasons, some of which are well-intentioned. Some feel that certain issues are inappropriate for particular age groups or decide in advance that pupils lack the maturity to grasp them. Where teachers lack confidence in their subject knowledge or subject-specific pedagogy, this can also be a reason for avoiding certain content. Staff may wish to avoid causing offence or appearing insensitive to individuals or groups in their classes. In  particular settings, teachers of history are unwilling to challenge highly contentious or charged versions of history in which pupils  are steeped at home, in their community or in a place of worship. Some teachers also feel that the issues are best avoided in history, believing them to be taught elsewhere in the curriculum such as in citizenship or religious education.") This study was an early step in the process of reworking national curriculum, not its final outcome. That is, it was a gathering and  presentation of information rather than an assembly of recommendations meant to be implemented post-haste. One history department looked at by the fact-finders was found to have cut information about the Holocaust from its lessons due to  worries that Muslim pupils might express anti-Semitic reactions. Said the report: "For example, a history department in a northern  city recently avoided selecting the Holocaust as a topic for GCSE coursework for fear of confronting anti-Semitic sentiment and Holocaust  denial among some Muslim pupils. In another history department, the Holocaust was taught despite anti-Semitic sentiment among some pupils, but the same department deliberately avoided teaching the Crusades at Key Stage 3 because their balanced treatment of the  topic would have directly challenged what was taught in some local mosques.") There are no plans to stop teaching the Holocaust. Indeed, the education department's plan seems to be ensuring that it is taught everywhere. A spokesman for the Department of Education and Skills (DES) maintained that "The Adjegbo report on citizenship  [a different report authored by Sir Keith Adjegbo and released in January 2007] said key British historical events must be taught"  and that while "the national curriculum is a broad framework and there is scope for schools to make their own decisions, teaching  elements including the Holocaust and key British events will be compulsory." Currently, according to a DES spokesman, "Teaching of the Holocaust is already compulsory in schools at Key Stage 3 (ages 11 to 14), and it will remain so in the new KS3 curriculum from September 2008." Schools in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have different guidelines  and curriculums; in those parts of the UK, according to the BBC, "Holocaust teaching is not compulsory but schools may teach it if they wish,  and this has not changed recently." The bottom line to all this fuss? Schools in the UK are indeed teaching about the Holocaust, something British journalists seemed to downplay in their rush to report that one department in one city was not. The e-mailed call to arms cited above was likely the result of a misreading of those already badly-presented news articles. Barbara "scrambled regs" Mikkelson The bottom line to all this fuss?

Deep in denial President Ahmadinejad's conference on the Holocaust has nothing to do with free speech - and everything to do with anti-semitism. David Cesarani Articles   Latest Show all Profile  All David Cesarani articles About Webfeeds December 11, 2006 1:45 PM Printable version The conference being held in Teheran at the instigation of President Ahmadinejad, ostensibly to investigate whether there was, in fact, a genocide against the Jews during the second world war, has nothing to do with seeking the truth or challenging the limits of the west's  commitment to free speech. It is all about the continuous onslaught against the legitimacy of the state of Israel and draws on a deep hatred of Jews rooted in sections of the Arab population and among some Muslims around the world - a hatred that has existed for a  long time and that seized on Holocaust denial long before President Ahmadinejad came along. There is nothing wrong with anti-Zionism, per se, or campaigning against the policies of the state of Israel. But to claim that the Jews invented a history of anti-semitic persecution at the hands of the Nazis, culminating in the gas chambers at Auschwitz, and to claim that this was used to squeeze money out of guilt-stricken Germans, is nothing less than a Jewish conspiracy theory on a vast scale that, in addition, draws upon ancient stereotypes of the avaricious Jew. These stereotypes are not a European monopoly: they have circulated in Islamic societies for centuries, too. Although Muslims honour the patriarchs of Judaism and the Hebrew bible, in the Koran the prophet  Mohammed had some very unkind things to say about alleged Jewish treachery. Nor is this conference a reaction to the affair of the cartoons. In 1964, Gamal Abdul Nasser, president of Egypt, told a West German newspaper that he opposed "the lie of the six million". The French Holocaust denier, Roger Garaudy, enjoyed a triumphal tour of Middle  East countries with his book, Founding Myths of Israeli Politics, published in 1996, which claimed the Holocaust was a fabrication of the  Zionist propaganda machine. The Institute for Historical Review, a rightwing outfit based in California, was only stopped from holding their 2001 annual conference in Beirut by the then prime minister of Lebanon, Rafik al-Hariri. The conference relocated to Amman. The  Zayed Centre, associated with the Arab League, held a Holocaust denial symposium in Abu Dhabi in 2002. Edward Said was among many Palestinians who realised that this was a futile, counterproductive way to attack Zionism. It misses the  point of how and why Israel was created, insults and alienates the other victims of Nazi racism, and panders to rank anti-semitism.

Mottos http://www.payer.de/fundamentalismus/fundamentalismus04.htm "Steckt Torheit im Herzen des Knaben, / die Rute der Zucht vertreibt sie daraus." Sprüche Salaomos 22,15, Einheitsübersetzung "Those who control what young people are taught, and what they experience—what they see, hear, think, and believe— will determine the future course for the nation." James Dobson "Our goal is not to make the schools better…The goal is to hamper them, so they cannot grow… Our goal as God-fearing,  uncompromised… Christians is to shut down the public school, not in some revolutionary way, but step by step, school by school, district by district." "I imagine every Christian would agree that we need to remove humanism from the public schools. There is only one way  to accomplish this: to abolish the public schools. We need to get the government out of the education business. According  to the Bible, education is a parental responsibility. It is not the place of the government to be running a school system." Robert Thoburne "The public education movement has also been an anti-Christian movement...We can change education in America if you put Christian principles in and Christian pedagogy in. In three years, you would totally revolutionize education in America." Pat Robertson,"The 700 Club," September 27, 1993.

Such themes as waywardness and redemption provide the  grist for countless evangelical sermons; the parable of the prodigal son, I am convinced, is one of the most popular texts in the evangelical subculture. Prayer meetings fairly reverberate with petitions for this or that son or daughter who has wandered from the faith. In recent decades, many churches, reflecting the concerns of parents in the congregation, have hired youth pastors, whose job it is to keep children safely within the evangelical fold, to shield them from the perils of worldliness."

I really do believe that our freedoms are being taken from us one by one. I do not have the right to pray in school, and yet my children are  being taught witchcraft in school. I don't have the freedom to express my views as a Bible-believing Christian in the schools, yet  at the same time humanists can instruct my children. Here in Iowa, in fact, one parent was insulted because there was a prayer given at a baccalaureate service. There are no more baccalaureate services in Iowa because of this one parent. Now I as a parent  wish to have my freedoms respected and maintained, and yet this individual, I feel, has infringed upon my rights as a citizen. Where is the balance in all this? There are times when I would love to find another Plymouth Rock and get in my boat and look  for that free country where everyone would be free again and be respected as a human being and given the dignity that each  human being is entitled to."

THERE IS NO SECOND PLACE Everything in the universe has a purpose. The invisible intelligence that flows through everything in  a purposeful fashion is in all of us. It is with our thought that we create our reality. The place where  your thought comes from is some universal intelligence out there, let's call it God. Somehow our priorities  are turned inside out. We have lost our ability to be intuitive. Think of your intuitive self as God talking  privately to you, just as you talk privately to God and call it prayer. You can hear an answer if you believe  that there is some universal intelligence out there that you are addressing. What is important is knowing  that the intelligence is there and that it is part of you and all life. This blog is about finding the truth. I intend to find the truth. Intention is the energy of your soul coming into contact with your physical reality.  Everything about the physical you, is a result of your intention, or how your thoughts become energized into action. This concept of intention, of applying action to your inner pleadings, will allow you to activate what needs to be done in order to complete the thought and make it a physical reality. You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, your intentions create your reality.
It looks like some at the White House have drunk the environmentalist kool-aid. God help us and save our liberty.                                   A Step Toward Climate Rationalism By Rich Lowry Thursday, September 27, 2007 When Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice opened a White House conference on global warming by saying, "We must cut the Gordian knot of fossil fuels," it's a wonder she could be heard over the guffaws from all the great and good who feel they've struck a blow for global survival if they watched an Emmy Awards show featuring a red carpet made of recycled water bottles. Their response to Rice is, "If you're so serious about fighting global warming, where is your restrictive new global follow-on agreement to the Kyoto treaty to prove it?" The White House meeting of countries around the world was designed precisely not to produce such an  agreement. The goal is instead a voluntary commitment by nations to reduce carbon emissions without mandatory targets. This is a victory for climate rationalism. Such rationalism is based on acceptance of the fact of global warming and its man-made dimension, together with a focus on the costs and benefits  of responding to it. This approach can put conservatives -- who have long looked the other way on global warming -- on the right of the side of  science of the issue and even of the politics. If the United States had participated in Kyoto and it had been fully implemented, according to economist Bjorn Lomborg in his new book, "Cool It,"  it would have cost the developed world about $9 trillion to lower the global temperature by about .3 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100. That would have  put off predicted warming by the end of the century by about five years. Another, more strenuous Kyoto-style agreement would have even heavier economic costs upfront for benefits that are a hundred years off. Few people will take that deal, especially in developing countries like China where people's lives depend -- right now -- on achieving higher standards  of living. And why should they? Supposedly because our future depends on it. The middle-range U.N. estimate is that by 2100, global temperature will go up by roughly 5 degrees Fahrenheit and sea levels will rise about a foot. This doesn't warrant economic hara-kiri in response. The temperature increase could actually save lives. In alarmist reporting about the effects of global warming, it's assumed that only heat kills people. But cold does as well. More people will die from heat in a warmer world, but fewer from cold. According to Lomborg, fewer people will die in 2050, and even in 2200, in a world that is as warm as the U.N. estimates. As for a sea-level rise, Lomborg writes, we already have experienced a rise of a foot since 1860, without major disruptions, and by 2050 we will have a five-inch rise similar to the rise we have experienced since 1940. Its predictions of increases of 20 feet that are disconcerting, but they go  well beyond consensus forecasts -- so it is the climate alarmists who are in the position of "denying" the science. Of course, the consensus estimates could be wrong. So, isn't it prudent to act now? Technology writer Jim Manzi points out that the long-term  benefit of a carbon tax really would be to pressure industry to find technological breakthroughs. Instead of imposing an enormous cost on our economy to try to do this indirectly, it would make more sense to make a major, but still much more affordable, investment -- billions of dollars  a year -- in technological research directly. In the meantime, we and the rest of the world will get richer, putting us in a better shape to adapt should the worst happen. Patrick Michaels  of the CATO Institute reminds us that in 1955, a Category 5 hurricane hit Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, killing 600 people. This year, a Category 5 hit the same spot and killed no one. Mexico was richer, and more resilient, than 50 years ago. We should take warming seriously, but keep our wits about us and guard the world's economic growth. In a fair fight, climate gradualism should trump climate alarmism.                                          A demonstrator and a police officer confront each other in the village of Sipson near Heathrow Airport in west London, August 19, 2007. More than one thousand climate change activists massed on Sunday and pledged a mix  of peaceful protest and civil disobedience to draw attention to the impact of  aviation on global warming.

Specialized neurons in the eye, sensitive to magnetic direction, have been shown for the first time to connect via a specific brain pathway to an area in the forebrain of birds responsible for vision, German researchers said on Wednesday. Scientists have known for many years, from behavioral experiments, that birds use an internal magnetic compass to navigate on their epic annual journeys. But exactly how the system works has been a mystery. Now work by Dominik Heyers and colleagues at the University of Oldenburg in Germany has started to unravel the mechanism at a neuroanatomical level -- and it shows the eye is key. Magnetic sensing molecules in the eye, known as cryptochromes, appear to stimulate photoreceptors depending on the orientation of the magnetic field. Warblers from Germany and Russia were held in captivity and their nerve patterns traced and analyzed to establish the direct functional link between cells in the retina and the Cluster in there forebrain region. Garden warblers, which are estimated to number around 10 million worldwide, breed in northern Europe and spend the winter in Africa. ====================================================================================

And test your perceptions! - L'Asile utopique. http://www.asile.org/citoyens/numero13/pentagone/erreurs_en.htm -  Asile.org Français Español Italiano Pentagon Hunt the Boeing! And test your perceptions! As everyone knows, on 11 September, less than an hour after the attack on the World Trade Centre, an  airplane collided with the Pentagon. The Associated Press first reported that a booby-trapped truck had caused the explosion. The Pentagon quickly denied this. The official US government version of events still holds. Here's a little game for you: Take a look at these photographs and try to find  evidence to corroborate the official version. It's up to you to Hunt the Boeing!  Question n°1 Image : Space Imaging Image : U.S. Department of Defense   The first satellite image shows the section of the building that was hit by the Boeing. In the image  below, the second ring of the building is also visible. It is clear that the aircraft only hit the  first ring. The four interior rings remain intact. They were only fire-damaged after the initial explosion. Can you explain how a Boeing 757-200, weighing nearly 100 tons and travelling at a minimum speed of 250 miles an hour* only damaged the outside of the Pentagon? *250 mph when landing, 600 mph in flight.      Question n°2 Image : U.S. Marine Corps, Cpl. Jason Ingersoll Image : U.S. Army   The two photographs in question 2 show the building just after the attack. We may observe that the aircraft  only hit the ground floor. The four upper floors collapsed towards 10.10 am. The building is 26 yards high. Can you explain how a Boeing 14.9 yards high, 51.7 yards long, with a wingspan of 41.6 yards and a cockpit 3.8 yards high, could crash into just the ground floor of this building?      Question n°3 Image : U.S. Army The photograph above shows the lawn in front of the damaged building. You'll remember that the aircraft only hit the ground floor of the Pentagon's first ring. Can you find debris of a Boeing 757-200 in this photograph?      Question n°4   The photograph in question 4 shows a truck pouring sand over the lawn of the Pentagon. Behind it a bulldozer  is seen spreading gravel over the turf. Can you explain why the Defence Secretary deemed it necessary to sand over the lawn, which was otherwise undamaged after the attack?      Question n°5 Image : Space Imaging   Image : U.S. Department of Defense, Sgt. Rudisill The photographs in Question 5 show representations of a Boeing 757-200 superimposed on the section of the building that was hit. Can you explain what happened to the wings of the aircraft and why they caused no damage?      Question n°6 When asked by a journalist: "Is there anything left of the aircraft at all?" "First of all, the question about the aircraft, there are some small pieces of aircraft visible from the interior during this fire-fighting operation I'm talking about, but not large sections. In other words, there's no fuselage  sections and that sort of thing." " You know, I'd rather not comment on that. We have a lot of eyewitnesses that can give you better information about what actually happened with the aircraft as it approached. So we don't know.  I don't know." When asked by a journalist: "Where is the jet fuel?" "We have what we believe is a puddle right there that the -- what we believe is to be the nose of the aircraft. So -"     The quotations in Question 6 correspond to statements made by Arlington County Fire Chief, Ed Plaugher, at a press conference held by Assistant Defence Secretary, Victoria Clarke, on 12 September 2001, at the Pentagon. Can you explain why the County Fire Chief could not tell reporters where the aircraft was?      Question n°7 Images : U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Jason Ingersoll 1 et 2     The two photographs in question 7 were taken just after the attack. They show the precise spot on the outer ring where the Boeing struck. Can you find the aircraft's point of impact? (To view the photos in detail, download these enlargements: 1 and 2)      How did you do? Did you find the Boeing? Can you still defend the official version of events? > Well done! Remember to get in touch with master of illusion, David Copperfield. He'll be glad to hear from you! You found the official version lacking in something (like a Boeing, for example): > If you begin to question whether a Boeing really did crash on the Pentagon then, no doubt, you'll be wondering  what happened to the aircraft that disappeared. You will probably ask yourself why the US government even told you this story in the first place and you'll start asking yourself lots of other questions besides. Don't worry!  This is perfectly normal! Source: www.reseauvoltaire.net - The photographs are official images and available on US army sites.
